With a blend of dreamy acoustic duets, foot-stomping folk and bluesy murder ballads, New Zealand-born and Nashville-based South for Winter’s sound is as eclectic as their origins. The band is composed of New Zealander Nick Stone and Colorado native Dani Cichon, and together the multi-instrumentalists and songwriters combine elements such as guitar, mandolin, and tambourine into a genre-bending sound described by American Songwriter as “impeccable”. South for Winter recorded their debut album Luxumbra in Nashville TN with GRAMMY award-winning producer Matt Leigh, and crowdfunded its independent release in 2020. Luxumbra has landed the band accolades such as a “Most Wanted” Emerging Artist at Falcon Ridge Festival, “Top DJ Pick” by NYC’s DJ John Platt in 2021, and official showcase artist at Folk Alliance International in 2022.
